The Us Weekly 2015 Best Dressed List winner looked fierce in long, braided locks on Wednesday, Sept. 2, while in NYC, where she’s currently working on the upcoming off-Broadway play Eclipsed. She wore her new look with a casual white tank and black sports bra (both by Aday), and topped off the effortless vibe with a pair of sunglasses.

Eclipsed, which opens on Oct. 14 at the Public Theater in Manhattan, is centered around a group of women held captive by rebels fighting the Liberian government in 2003, according to the New York Times.
